OH: “A lot of the stuff that Python gets praised for being fast at, PHP now outperforms Python at doing, but it’s a story we’re not really telling. We should be telling that story.” #PHPTek #HallwayTrack #PHP
Another excellent #PHPTek, thanks to @eric, @john, and the entire @phparch team. You all rock! 🤘
Thank you to the amazing sponsors who made it all possible!

This is part of the reason I couldn’t get to a good place (mentally) in order to do a _real_ “Saving Open Source” talk at #PHPTek:

Thanks to an amazing session by @derickr at #phptek, I have now successfully built my first PHP extension. It doesn't do anything ... but the fact that it works, tests pass, and it extends the functionality of the language is a win I'll take.
Not understanding how to start with extensions has held me back from several ideas I've had percolating since ... at least 2018. It feels so good to be productive again :-)
